SAVANNAH, Ga (WJCL) - - A Chatham county commissioner appeared in state court on Wednesday morning. Yusuf Shabazz pled not guilty to several driving offenses. Shabazz was charged with reckless driving, driving on the wrong side of the road and leaving the scene of an accident.

One county road worker says in June, crews were loading equipment on Holland Drive in Savannah, and that despite their requests, Shabazz refused to stop.
